Yeah, me too. I wanna know where these free- roaming -chickens- who -need- homes roads are!

I hear there is an upscale neighborhood here in Sacramento where free-ranging chickens have become a nuisance & they're trying to get people to come out and PLEEEEASE catch them and give them a home!
 
That would be Fair Oaks Village. The chickens are famous there, although most of them are roosters. There is a contingency that would like them gone. But since they have created an annual Chicken Festival in their honor, i think they're there to stay.

i do feel bad for them in the cold weather. Saw the prettiest buff laced Polish roo walking down the street there not long ago. Almost turned around and went back to get him.

Oh, I love the Fair Oaks Village chickens! Those birds are almost sacred to the folks out there in the village! LOL! But those are not the chickens I'm referring to. The neighborhood I'm referring to is on the other side of the river, actually closer to Carmichael. It's off Arden at the very end, down near the William Pond access area to the American River. It's that neighborhood down there. Every few months, someone who lives out there will put an ad on craigslist and ask people in the community who keep chickens to come and catch them and give them homes, though I confess it's been about 5 or 6 months now since the last time I saw the ad. Maybe enough people showed up and gave the chooks homes, or the people who live there just accepted them as part of the neighborhood fauna? Apparently it started with one family that moved and left behind their chickens, then they met up with other chickens and they all started breeding and running around in the neighborhood and down by the river.

I know what you mean, as I also feel bad for the outdoor chooks down in Fair Oaks in the cold weather, but they've been there a really long time. I'm sure they've found ways to make it through the winter. I lived in Fair Oaks from 2000 to 2003, and they were a mainstay in the village even then.
